Two men have been found guilty of killing a taxi driver whose car hit a tree.
Ishfaq Hussain, 52, died on Ironbridge Road in Madeley, Telford, on 7 August 2017.
Brandon Dowen, 19 of Telford, and John Cox, 32, of Wolverhampton, had denied manslaughter but were found guilty at Stafford Crown Court.
The Shropshire Star said they pursued him after he asked Dowen's girlfriend for directions.
The newspaper reported the jury was told that she took it "the wrong way" and swore at Mr Hussain who was captured on CCTV talking to her, with the wheels of the taxi still turning.
It said the prosecution said the defendants decided to find Mr Hussain to "teach him a lesson" in a joint enterprise.
Dowen and Cox confronted the taxi driver twice, and the victim, who had a heart condition, was punched and kicked by Dowen.
They then followed him at speeds of more than 60mph along Ironbridge Road before the collision happened.
Det Ch Insp Steve Tonks said: "He was a hard-working taxi driver who at the time of his death was doing his job to support his family. He was also a well-respected man in the community."
Mr Hussain's passenger was seriously hurt in the crash but has since recovered, police said.
Dowen, and Cox, are due to be sentenced on Thursday.
